Here's some things that I'd do, Kim. Make sure that you don't feel tired or out of breath for the long run. When you feel like stopping - stop and walk. You...

Oh boy....I just found out we can't wear headphones in the Sarasota marathon. I'll just have to sing....maybe that will make the people ahead of me faint, then...
I never run with headphones on anyway. It distracts me. Ear buds hurt my ears anyway. They seem too big for my ear openings. I just get absorbed in what is...
Hi Chuck!! You don't run with music?? I think about weird stuff if I don't have my iPod on....LOL I'm looking forward to the Festival Of Lights run, I've never...
Evening runs are real nice but they can mess up your rhythm a bit. I prefer to run in the evening and in the dark down here. In Wisconsin, I'd definitely...
